Ian Hislop
The sad reign of Ian Hislop
Appointed for his youth, he has become symbolic of cultural gerontocracy
Making a mockery of Labour
The ministers just can’t yet do chaos like the Tories could
The big picture
A story of modern Britain, a moral tale, of venality, hubris and fraud
Silk Road splendour
The bare plain is now home to a million souls, their mosques, cathedrals and some very exclusive hotels
Don’t bet on green energy
Groupthink has blinded us into backing solar and wind. Will a big short make us see sense?
British libel laws are a SLAPP in the face to press freedom
We need major liberalisation of libel law
Soporific Starmer
The Prime Minister appears to be making a virtue of his own dullness
Taking the liberal mask off prohibition
The case for the Tobacco and Vapes Bill is morally and economically unsound
A matter of life and death
It is not the job of judges to tell someone that they are wrong for believing in life
The Lost Gardens of London
The war between city and greenery is eternal; the concrete and asphalt seeks open land to engulf
Anti-extremism or opportunism?
The UK government should be more careful to distinguish criminal activities from legitimate opinion
Why shouldn’t we discriminate against people’s beliefs?
It is not the same as discriminating on the basis of race or sex
